Abstract

This study explores the young urban residents’ environmental perceptions forging intentions to adopt rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in India and the mediating role of government initiatives to propagate solar energy prospects. Primary data using convenience sampling has been corralled from young educated urban residents. Partial least square structural equation modelling has been deployed to test the hypotheses of the proposed conceptual model. The results show that young residents displayed a high degree of environmental perception and were willing to adopt rooftop solar PV systems, but the government initiatives were unable to mediate the relationships. This study recommends ways in which governments can hyperbole solar energy policies to be more effective and adds to the literature of understanding residents’ intentions to adopt solar-based systems while becoming producers and consumers (pro-sumers) of clean energy.

城市太阳能“产消者”:探索政府举措的中介作用

本研究探讨了印度年轻城市居民的环境观念，以及他们采用屋顶太阳能光伏(PV)系统的意愿，以及政府宣传太阳能前景的举措的中介作用。主要数据采用方便抽样法，从受过教育的城市青年居民中抽取。偏最小二乘结构方程模型已被部署来测试所提出的概念模型的假设。结果表明，年轻居民表现出高度的环境感知，并愿意采用屋顶太阳能光伏系统，但政府举措无法调解这种关系。这项研究提出了政府可以夸大太阳能政策以提高效率的方法，并增加了理解居民在成为清洁能源的生产者和消费者(亲消费者)的同时采用太阳能系统的意图的文献。
